In Memory of
Barbara Jean Meadows

In 1990, Doug Meadows, the owner of David Douglas Diamonds & Jewelry, lost his mother to cancer. This contest is to honor her and for students to honor their mothers–to express their love and appreciation through a writing exercise.

We offer this contest to students in grades Kindergarten through 5th. Last year we had over 7,000 entries.

15th Annual Writing Contest

Every year David Douglas Diamonds & Jewelry sponsors a writing contest in our local elementary schools. The kids are asked to write an essay about their mom. Three deserving students win a 1/4 carat diamond (.25ct), and a gemstone winner is chosen from every classroom that participates.
